He's coming up to the Big Boys division next year

Free Formula is best thing that ever happened to Formula racing.
It has really reduced the intimidation factor of racing and larger sails etc.
I'll attach the poster that will give you a good idea.
Basically you can rock up to any event with any equipment that can get you around a reduced length course.
You still get to do the exciting part of the race i.e. start together with the whole fleet, but you don't have to waste all your energy doing the full length course.

This also allows you to try gear before committing to buying.

that link didnt work for me... also well done to the bedazzler, for bedazzling the competition!

I will definitely be going back next year. Lots of racing, and lots of fun.
4 races each day was more than enough. Lucky to get some decent wind for a couple of the days too.The free formula meant you did not get left out the back of the main fleet so had plenty of time to get back to the beach between races. Will have to step up and play with the big boys next year thou.
I can recommend it to anyone who wants to get some fun sailing in.
There was over a hundred competitors on the water for the lead up event. ( RSX and Longboards and Formula.)
I will have to start practicing now for next year, who is keen.

Sounds awesome.

I've just picked up some formula kit Daz, so if you need a training partner I'm keen.

Might even look into next year's event. After a complete fizzer of a season in WA for slalom racing this looks like fun.

Working out my training program now. I will send you a copy. Please note it does include alot of drinking.

get a new program mate!

Karaoke....You went to bed before it all began!!!

It was 20 - 25 knots for each race, which is light winds for Big Daz

Top work Darryl !!
Sounds like a great event both on and off the water.

Hey Dazman, you coming over next weekend for the racing? Your gear is already here!

If the conditions look good and you can get a cheap last minute flight, then yell out. We can lend you equipment and the event is right next to the airport. Accommodation will be sorted also....
